...knock!...knock!...knock!...
"Ms. Amy, if you're already awake would you like to join me for breakfast?"
Whether it's Luel is just being hospitable or he's taking advantage of the situation to have more time together with Amy, either way, Luel spent the early morning preparing breakfast for the two of them.
A few seconds after knocking on the door and calling out to Amy, the door of the guest room opened slightly, and then Amy peeked from the small gap to answer Luel's invitation.
"Thanks for preparing breakfast for me. I'll join you later after getting dressed."
After saying her reply, Amy closed the door of the guest room.

"Don't tell me you have been standing here all this time?"
"Huh?..."
Amy's voice brought back Luel's mind that has shut down after seeing a glimpse of Amy's morning face.
He wasn't ready for it. Luel didn't even think that behind the door of the guest room was another side of his beloved Idol that none of her Fans could ever dream of seeing.
Luel didn't come prepared. That's why when Amy opened the door, and Luel saw her morning face just right after she woke up, Luel's mind shut down, unable to process his feelings towards Amy.
"Please stop acting dumbfounded like that, Mr. Luel."
It's not that Amy is getting annoyed at Luel's repeated astonished reaction towards her that makes her respond with a bit of a repulsive voice. It is just that Amy didn't know how she would act in front of Luel which wouldn't cause Luel to misunderstand anything.
After all, she has encountered some of her Fans who would assume or have delusions that she has feelings for them just because she would talk nicely to them.

After apologizing for what Luel thought was another rude behavior towards Amy, they went to the usual balcony to eat the breakfast that Luel had prepared. A set of Pancakes, topped with butter and honey, and the other one with cream and chocolate, along with a choice of either coffee or tea.
It's a simple yet a bit fancy breakfast that Luel can come up with for Amy.
Luel enjoys his time together with Amy. However, when they are in the middle of having their breakfast, a sudden visitor comes to Luel's house.
"Who are you?"
"Can I have a Pancake too?"
Right now, Amy, who's still sitting on the balcony, is surrounded by Luel's twin nieces, while Luel is in the living room trying to explain to his cousin Rammie why the ex-Idol Amy is in his house.
"It's her, right? Right, Luel?"
"Relax..."
"Don't tell me to relax! Explain why Amy is here at your house!"
Luel explained everything to Rammie. That Amy is a RAIDS ONLINE player and that she came to his house to personally invite Luel to join her team, that Amy couldn't return to Central City because the bus service had stopped, and that Amy spent the night at Luel's house.
Once Luel has explained everything to Rammie and made her calmed down from her excitement of seeing Amy, Luel and Rammie return to the balcony and find Amy feeding the twins with Pancakes.
.
.

Another side of Amy that still hasn't been revealed to Luel is that Amy is fond of children. Which is why she wasn't able to escape the twins Ram and Mie.
"Why are you here, big sister?"
"Are you Fluffy Hair Uncle's wife?"
Amy was surprised by the question of Ram and Mie, which she couldn't believe would come from a pair of 4-year-old children.
"Of course not..."
"Then you're a bad big sister."
"Mhm!... Bad big sister."
As soon as Amy denies what the twins have assumed, even before she can say a word to explain her relationship to Luel, the twins have already passed their judgment on her.
"Why?..."
Whatever the reason why Ram and Mie have labeled Amy as a bad big sister, Amy thinks that it is probably just childish reasoning. However, the answer that the twins give to her question is another thing that she wouldn't expect to hear from a pair of innocent children.
"Because Mom said that girls and boys shouldn't live together."
"Mhm!... If they are not married!"
"So you're a bad big sister!"
"Are you?"
"Are you a bad big sister?"
"Of course, not!"
Not wanting to be disliked by the children in front of her, Amy denies the twin's negative impression of her, without thinking that she might regret it right after.
"Then are you Fluffy Hair Uncle's wife?"
"Are you?"
Overwhelmed by the grumbling of Ram and Mie, Amy was left with no choice but to accept as much as she could what the twins had thought of her if she didn't want to be disliked by Ram and Mie.
"Yes... I'm something like that..."
"Hey, don't be rude and die of happiness, Luel."
"... ... ..."
Of course, Luel and Rammie heard the whole conversation between Amy and the twins, and Luel's mind shut down again after hearing Amy indirectly admit to Ram and Mie that she is his wife.
.
.

After eating breakfast together with Rammie and her twins, Amy has asked Rammie if she could give her a ride to the Central City. However, Rammie couldn't comply with Amy's request for the reason that her car had also broken down, and driving Luel's car is something she was not familiar with.
Rammie and her twins said their goodbye to Luel and Amy. But before they left, Rammie whispered something to Luel.
"You know that I lied, right?"
"Why would you lie like that?
"Isn't obvious? You like Amy, right? So use this opportunity to get closer to her. You can thank me later by making Amy my cousin-in-law."
"Jeez, just go home already."
After sending Rammie and her twins off, Luel came back into the living only to find Amy sitting on the sofa with an annoyed look on her face. The kind of pissed-off expression which shows that Amy is mad about something.
Even before Luel can ask what's bothering her, Amy already gives her answer.
"Don't think of me as a fool, Mr. Luel. I can tell that your cousin lied. If it's for me to spend more time with you, then fine. I'm willing to stay at your house and live with you if you accept my offer to become part of my team. That's what you wanted, right?"
Whatever misunderstanding Amy has assumed, Luel knows that he won't be able to set it right with his words alone.
To spend time with Amy. Of course, that's what Luel wanted. But only if Amy wants to spend time with him.
"You don't have to, Ms. Amy. I know someone else who can give you a ride to Central City... And about your offer, I'm sorry but I have to decline."
